From Broken Hearts to Spiritual Warriors with Lama Rod Owens

The Boston Shambhala Center is delighted to offer an afternoon talk and practice with Lama Rod Owens. TICKETS available through Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/from-broken-hearts-to-spiritual-warriors-in-person-with-lama-rod-owens-tickets-1735396009179?utm_experiment=test_share_listing&aff=ebdsshios What is bravery in spiritual practice? Lama Rod’s teachings are a clarion call for becoming a spiritual warrior—a human refreshed, serving a vision of a world shaped by love. Allowing one's hearts to break open is the exact fuel needed to disrupt systems of violence, in order for authentic care to guide our actions instead of fear and hate. Based on his most recent book, The New Saints - From Broken Hearts to Spiritual Warriors, Lama Rod offers a model of liberated spiritual practice, embodied warriorship in a language that speaks directly to our times. There’s no liberation without actually leaning forward and looking at the things that we habitually run away from. We must first see things as they really are - not as we have imagined them. His teachings offer fresh inspiration about ways we can bring healing to our broken hearts and to our beautiful, broken world. Lama Rod Owens is a Black Buddhist Southern Queen, an international influencer with a Master of Divinity degree in Buddhist Studies from Harvard Divinity School with a focus on the intersection of social change, identity, and spiritual practice. He is the author of The New Saints: From Broken Hearts to Spiritual Warriors and Love and Rage: The Path of Liberation through Anger and co-author of Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love and Liberation. Connection is Lama Rod’s second language; authenticity is his first. Meeting people where they are and speaking to them rather than at them with words they can relate to makes his delivery digestible and highly sought after. Where will the program happen? This will be a hybrid event, with (limited) in-person tickets as well a online participation via Zoom. The program will be held IN-PERSON at 646 Brookilne Avenue. Do I need to register? Yes - please register with an email you check regularly. We will send important information about the program to you via email and don’t want you to miss it. How do I pay? We use Paypal to process payments. You can choose to pay through a paypal account (if you have one) or with a credit or debit card. Unfortunately Paypal sometimes disables guest checkout "based on several risk factors" and will prompt you to create an account.

What if I don't get the confirmation email? You should receive receive at least one confirmation email within 24 hours of registration. Please contact info@shambhalaboston.org if you do not receive the email. We send another email with program details approximately 3-5 days before the program begins. Sometimes emails may end up in your promotions, spam or junk folder. It’s also possible that you’ve unsubscribed from emails from Shambhala, which prevents you from receiving the necessary emails. If you don't receive the confirmation email, please contact info@shambhalaboston.org. Is the space accessible, or able to accomodate my needs? Please let us know when you register if you have any concerns about visual, sound, mobility or sensitivity to incense or chemicals. Please note the meditation hall is on the second floor and is only accessible by walking up a flight of stairs. Unfortunately, we have no way of accommodating wheelchairs at this time. What if I'm not feeling well? Please note that masking is now optional. If you are not feeling well for any reason, please stay home and contact us about a refund. Additionally, we ask you to limit the use of scented products, as many people have chemical sensitivities. Note that our building is not wheelchair accessible. Other questions? Common questions might be answered on our FAQ page.
